The following is a poem from some time before 1991 - five whole
years before the present crisis. Apart from dealing with the
B.S.E. issue, it hints at the progressively frankenstein attitude
we are taking in terms of animal production; BST is the
genetically engineered growth hormone given to cows to increase
their yield and PST is intended to speed up pig growth.

The Polymorph - The All Purpose Battery Beast

BST and BSE
Wrangles for the EEC
Is it true
Or is it false
Breasts on boys
And brain disease?
Is it there
Or is it not?
In the milk
And cooking pot?

Coming soon now
PST

Gee!
